Two weeks later, at the Palace of King Jonathan and Queen Tayhet.
"How's she doing, uncle?" Kel heard a all too familiar male voice ask.
"She should be up and about today or tomorrow, Dom. You were lucky to have Neal with you." Duke Baird's voice replied.
Dom sighed, but said in a joking voice, "I guess I'll have to thank him then. He's going to enjoy it."
"I have to see that," Kel croak laughed, opening her eyes.
Dom's shocked, but clearly joyful blue eyes filled her whole vision and she blinked a few times to focus on the rest of him. He was sitting with a bare over body, a long bandage wrapped around his chest, and his left bicep also had a bandage around it, though none of them looked dangerous.
"Kel!!! You're alright!" Dom exclaimed, grinning broadly, almost hopping up and down with joy.
Duke Baird came over with a glass of water and some bread and cheese for her, shaking his head. "He's been like this all the time. A real pain. The only reason he's not out with the others is because he's got a wound too, as you can see." Duke Baird smiled at her, and Kel clearly saw where Neal had gotten his charming smile.
Kel grinned, then blushed deeply as Dom swooped down and kissed her forehead, nose and cheek, and finally her mouth before Baird could get food in her mouth.
"Now go, you insolent pain, and get dressed for your cousin's wedding!! The lady knight must eat before she dresses too." Neal's father looked at her, still smiling. "I doubt Keladry wants to miss the wedding, am I right?"
As an answer Kel swept away the blanket grabbing a piece of bread, while Duke Baird chuckled and gave her, her party clothes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*
The doors to the ballroom swung open, as the herald in the doorway announced, "Sir Domitan of Masbolle, Sergeant of the King's Own, Lady Knight Keladry of Mindelan, Protector of the Small!"
Kel, dressed in a long, light green tunic that ended a little of her knees, and loose, darker trousers, entered with Dom.
Dom, tall and strong, was wearing a dark blue tunic like his eyes, and dark leggings. His waist was decorated with a fine, silver shining sword, and his dark boots were polished until they looked like black onyx stone boots.
Kel blushed, and the arm she had resting securely on Dom's shook. Dom flashed her a reassuring smile and she let out the air she'd been holding in. As they reached the bottom, Neal crossed his arms and tapped his shoe against the stone floor.
"Don't you know it's rude to take the attention away from the bride and groom?" He said, shaking his head. Yuki, standing beside him, shook her head too, but at her husband's mood instead.
"We are ever so sorry, dear cousin, I understand you are mad for us two warriors, who were nearly killed in battle, for disturbing you." Dom said with so much innocence in his voice Kel nearly laughed.
Kel played along, sweeping into a curtsy so graceful it was better than a normal lady's. "Our deepest apologies, graceful sir and lady," she muttered in a low voice of a lady.
"You should be," Neal's voice quivered a little, and Kel knew he was laughing inside. "You didn't even come to the ceremony!"
Kel and Dom stared at Neal for a moment, and Neal stared at Kel and Dom, and then, after ten minutes of complete silence all three burst out laughing. Yuki stepped forward hugging Kel tightly, while Dom and Neal slapped each other's shoulders.
Suddenly a streak of blue lightning struck Kel, and she nearly toppled over, laughing when she recognized it.
Kel stroked Tobe's hair affectingly, feeling little sobs against her upper stomach. Tobe pulled back, patting the place he'd been crying as if to make sure he hadn't soaked it. He looked up into her eyes, "Don't tell Loisa I cried, please?" he whispered, grinning. Kel chuckled, and nodded, and Tobe went over to Dom.
Kel hugged many others, Alanna, Raoul, a almost sobbing Owen, Roald, Numair and Daine, before she hugged Neal. "You scared the magic out of us, Kel," Neal said, patting her shoulder once again.
"Congratulations to you and Yuki," Kel replied, ignoring what he had just said.
"We'll see how long it'll be before I say the same to you, Kel." Neal said, grinning, and then swept Yuki into dancing crowd, avoiding the deathening (word??) glare of Kel.
"Lady Knight, would you care to dance?" Dom asked. Nodding, Kel let him lead her onto the floor, ignoring the fact that they must look odd in tunic and trousers both.
The music slowed, and Dom's arm settled around her waist.
She rested her head on his shoulder, and felt his head rest on her head.
"You realize we look really odd right now," Kel muttered. She heard a soft rumble in his chest, and, knowing he was laughing she looked up.
"What's so funny?" she asked.
"Want to give them something else to look at?" Dom asked, looking into her eyes intently.
Kel frowned, then blinked at his head neared hers.
Soon she was in heaven.
His lips on hers made her weak, and she suddenly appreciated the arm around her waist a lot more.
They stopped dancing, absorbed by each other.
Kel smiled: this was where she wanted to be.
Neal, on the other hand, frowned: They were stealing the attention again. So rude.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
What did you think? I personally don't like it, but I am going to write a new one really soon. A better one, where Kel acts more Kel-like, okay?
Thanks for reviews, Sincerely Midnight Knight.
